Propaganda of record: New York Times shills again for Republicans

From Conyers:

Times featured an editorial entitled, "Time for Facts, Not Resolutions," suggesting that:

"he censure proposal is a bad idea. Members of Congress don't need to take extraordinary measures like that now.They need to fulfill their sworn duty to investigate the executive branch's misdeeds and failings."
Just how exactly does the New York Times editorial board propose that Democrats conduct investigations as a minority party? Do we Democrats just ask the Republicans to hold hearings, subpoena government officials and documents, and expect them to "fulfill their sworn duty to investigate?" Tried that. Didn't work.

On January 20th, relegated to a basement room, I conducted my own hearing on the NSA warrantless wiretapping. I invited bipartisan participation, bringing in witnesses to discuss the legal arguments for and against the NSA domestic spying. The New York Times says:

"We'd be applauding Mr. Feingold if he'd proposed creating a bipartisan panel to determine whether the domestic spying operation that Mr. Bush has acknowledged violates the 1978 surveillance law."

Well, I had the hearing on January 20th, what did the New York Times have to say about that? Nothing. No coverage.

HEAVY sigh. Don't tell me this country isn't being ruined by propaganda.

1. Thank you, goddess, for giving us Conyers and please give us a whole

House full in November. The NYT, however, could use some work. Do you think you could send us a few decent editors and writers? Thanks in advance.


Peace,

2. Codswallop.

I find the idea that the Times shills for repukes as preposterous as the Freeper insistance that they
shill for dems. Of late, they've written one blistering anti administration editorial after another. In fact, if you go through all the editorials in the Times since bush took office, you'll find that the vast majority are in opposition to the administration.

Thats unforgiveable.

3. Harpers "The Case for Impeachment" ....and the 3 phases of truth

The Case for Impeachment
Why we can no longer afford George W. Bush
Posted on Monday, February 27, 2006. An excerpt from an essay in the March 2006 Harper's Magazine. By Lewis H. Lapham.

The NYTimes was always an Operation Mockingbird mouthpiece for catapulting propaganda for what is so obvious by now a failed presidency. De facto if not now de jure (despite they won't publish it).

When common knowledge surpasses entrenched powers, as is the case now, then the 'theory' of Bush being a failure will be accepted:

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."--Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
